Exhibit_1_-_Building_Operating_Plan.docx

[[[The Building Operating Plan, Exhibit 7, is a sample of the National Template issued in 2008. There are some items that are above and beyond the contents listed in C.9.2. Because CO was in the process of collecting all of the BOPs it was felt that it would be best to keep using the current template with the understanding that it would be updated in the near future. Make changes where obvious updates are warranted. The BOP is a mandatory requirement and shall contain the minimum requirements (if applicable) in the SOW and additional items may be add by the regions if necessary]]]

1.0 GENERAL GUIDANCE

This document presents the Building Operating Plan for (Enter bldg name and address City, State Zip Code)

This plan documents the procedures for the operation of all the mechanical and electrical equipment in the Building. Equipment is operated to maximize safety and to maintain comfort conditions. Electric, gas, and water usage is kept to a minimum without compromising either safety or comfort. The systems covered by this Building Operating Plan include:

1) Electrical systems and equipment

2) Mechanical systems and equipment

3) Fire Protection systems and equipment

4) Control Systems controlling all systems which themselves are within the scope

5) Architectural and Structural systems, fixtures, structures and equipment within the government owned site.

6) Vertical Transportation (Elevators / Escalators)

Excluded from this Building Operating System

1) Security Systems

2) Telecommunication Systems

3) Equipment owned and operated by tenant agencies

4) Furnishings

5) Equipment owned by servicing public utilities

When levels of required services change, when building equipment changes, when operating procedures change, or when Agency requirements change, the plan shall be revised on a timely basis (within 10 working days) and submitted to the CO or designee.

The conservation of energy is not achieved at the expense of maintaining the required environmental or other special conditions described elsewhere in the building operating plan. Energy conservation is achieved through effective operational and maintenance practices as well as appropriate repairs or alterations to existing equipment or systems which reduce the overall cost of service. Energy conservation is achieved through the employment of good engineering and operating practices using accepted methods and procedures.

It is the tenant Agency’s responsibility to ensure that lights and equipment are turned off when not needed, that ventilation is not blocked or impeded, and that windows and other building accesses are closed during the heating and cooling seasons. The operation of portable heaters, fans and other such devices in Government controlled space is prohibited unless authorized by the GSA Building Manager.

There are no areas in the building authorized to maintain a level of lighting higher than that specified in the Federal Property Management Regulations or as directed by GSA.

There are no areas in the building authorized to maintain higher room temperatures during the heating season than those authorized by GSA.

Temperature- Heating/Cooling The Contractor shall adhere to the temperature levels and energy conservation practices identified herein.

During normal working hours, temperature controls shall be set to maintain space temperatures in accordance with the latest guidelines issued by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc., (ASHRAE), Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy.

During non-working hours heating temperature shall be set no higher than 55 degree Fahrenheit* and air-conditioning will not be provided except as necessary to return space temperatures to a suitable level during working hours and to assure the protection of the building and its systems.

*Minimum setback for temperatures and humidity control may vary from the established ASHRAE standards where it is necessary to maintain a specified set point as established by the architect and the Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) in order to maintain and protect the finished woodwork throughout the courtrooms and offices. These perimeters will be established and adjusted as necessary by the CO or their designee in order to maintain the building interior finishes.

Temperature levels stipulated by the Government are subject to change based on nationwide energy policies.

There are no night time set-backs for the chilled water, but at night the load is reduced because there is no demand for it. So the demand on the chillers is less.

The Contractor shall provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies, repair parts, tools, and equipment. They are also responsible to plan, schedule, coordinate and ensure effective and economical completion of all work and services specified in this Contract.

All mechanical specifications are a statement of the minimum level of work and services that are to be provided in certain areas under this plan. They are not intended to be, nor shall they be construed as, limiting specifications or requirements. At a minimum, the Contractor will be required to take all steps and measures which would be taken by a prudent building owner to maximize the life expectancy of the property, including having a journeyman mechanic/technician(s) on-site for a minimum of 8 hours per day, 8:30am-5:00pm.

All mechanical, electrical, utility, interior and exterior architectural and structural systems in the buildings shall be operated and/or maintained at the highest level of efficiency compatible with the current energy conservations requirements, and maintained at an acceptable level, throughout the Contract performance period.

An “acceptable level” of maintenance is defined as the level of maintenance, that will preserve the equipment and structure in unimpaired operating condition; i.e. above the point where deterioration will begin, thereby diminishing the normal life expectancy of the equipment and/or structure. The Contractor is responsible for performing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and maintenance repairs, as necessary, on a 24-hour a day, 365 days per year basis including emergency call-back service.

The Contractor shall maintain the machinery spaces, shops, and storerooms in a safe, clean, and orderly manner. When work is performed in these areas, the Contractor’s personnel shall clean up all debris and leave the area in a presentable condition. The machinery rooms including floors and the equipment located within the machinery rooms shall be painted as necessary to maintain the appearance of the room and equipment. When painting, the Contractor must comply with the ANSI color coding system outlined in the ASNI A13.1, Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems, and maintain the identity (identification number) of the equipment. The Contractor must obtain the approval of the CO or their designee before storing anything in machinery spaces.
